How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates, and we clear our waste as we work. For a job in Totland, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Before handover, snags are dealt with and the package is signed off under our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Construction mastic in Totland
Mastic follows everyone else, which means it absorbs every delay upstream. We agree a sequence at the start and adjust it as the site manager releases areas. That keeps the work right first time and saves rework. If you’re dealing with mastic snags holding up handover and missed perimeter joints on a new elevation, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Totland it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Building work in places the size of Totland is usually small-scale: a handful of new houses, barn conversions, a school or hall extension. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Totland
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Use the product the specification names
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Record the products used in the O&M file
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked; we confirm the time for each product.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
Building and refurbishing in Totland
Totland is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. A 2-mile radius around Totland takes in a number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Albion Hotel, 1.4 miles to the south-east of Totland, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. When a school such as St Saviour's Catholic Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Totland is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO39 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across the Isle of Wight, 125 places are covered, including Totland. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area, about 18 miles away.
Commercial sites across PO39 and PO40 are covered. Among the streets we cover are Meadow Barn Close, Ward Road and Weston Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote.

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Your questions answered
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Totland?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Our building in Totland is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you cover Totland?
Yes. Totland falls within our area, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to get started.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do you work with the site programme?
Working to your programme, we seal each area as it’s handed over. The sequence is agreed with the site manager at the start.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We follow the specified sealant and flag anything that doesn’t look right for the joint. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
